Abstract

An RFID tag and a method of its use are disclosed. One such RFID tag includes first, second, and third RFID inlays included on a tag housing, the first, second, and third RFID inlays each corresponding to a different rate identifier. The tag also includes a panel engaged with the housing and movable among first, second and third positions. The panel includes RFID shorting structures each positioned to electrically contact one of the first, second, and third RFID inlays such that, in any of the first, second, and third positions, only one of the first, second, and third RFID inlays remains active.

1 . A method of using an RFID tag, the method comprising:
 associating the RFID tag with a user account, the RFID tag including:
 first, second, and third RFID inlays corresponding to different rate structures, 
 a second surface movable among first, second and third positions relative to the first, second, and third RFID inlays and including one or more structures positioned relative to the first, second, and third RFID inlays to cause the first, second, and third inlays to be inactive such that, in any of the first, second, and third positions, only one of the first, second, and third RFID inlays remains active; and 
   receiving a tag reading indicating that a first RFID inlay of the RFID tag is active; and   charging the user account according to a first rate structure.
